I have mold/
moss on my
Lingot®.
Light spot in Lingot®’s
holes.
This is not mold but clay, used to fi x seeds in the
Lingot®. This is perfectly normal.
White fl uff or green moss.
It can appear during germination phase and during
the fi rst 2 months. It is well known in organic
soil-free farming and depends on humidity of your
room. Don’t worry, it does not prevent the growth of
your plants.
Do not fi ll the tank above maximum level.
There are
insects in my
plants.
Lingots® are made of a pasteurized natural substrate which are insect-proof. If
you fi nd insects in your plants, they have spread from other indoor plants or from
outside.
A few insects are not harmful to your plants but they can quickly multiply if you
don’t act.
Do not forget to treat all other plants in your home. Always rinse your plants with
water before eating if you have treated them.
If you have an infestation, you may want to start over. Harvest your plants and
clean your device well with soap. Wait a few days then start again with 2 new
Lingots®.
